Often times located close to an interstate, where an armed robber can pop in, get some cash, then pop on to the interstate and be gone.

But occasionally, the robber picks the wrong Waffle House.

That’s what happened this week in Villa Rica, Georgia, where a customer eating his meal, minding his own business in the local Waffle House, saw the need to defend himself and the other customers in the restaurant.

When he saw an robber armed with what turned out to be a BB gun, the customer fired at him, hitting him and sending him off running.

Here’s the story from the MiamiHerald.com:

A man pointed a gun at Waffle House workers in Georgia early Thursday and tried to rob them, until another customer stepped in with a gun of their own, according to police.

The attempted robber showed up at the Waffle House on Highway 61 in Villa Rica, Georgia, around 12:30 a.m. on Thursday, according to a police Facebook post. He aimed a gun at the restaurant’s workers and told them he was robbing them, police said.

That’s when a customer eating at the restaurant got out a gun and shot the attempted robber, sending the robber fleeing from the Waffle House, according to police.

The attempted robber left the restaurant in a dark, small vehicle, witnesses told police.

As the robber fled, he dropped his gun, according to police. Police investigating the incident realized that it was actually a BB gun, according to the Facebook post.

If here’s one lesson to be learned from the Villa Rica Waffle House shootout, it’s that one should never bring a BB gun to a Waffle House gun fights.
